The Hidden Mile
During one of the studies at the University of Portsmouth that was testing for Brooks Running, they found that a women's stride length was shortened by 4 centimeters when they weren't wearing a properly fitted sports bra. Test subjects were actually wasting energy holding themselves in vs. moving forward. Studies have shown that these 4 centimeters when running a marathon are equivalent to running 1 extra mile. Crazy, right?! Brooks Running calls this the "Hidden Mile". This further emphasizes the importance of a properly fitting run bra.
What to Wear Running
What to Wear Running
Choose the Right Running Fabrics
- Moisture Management: Look for synthetic materials like polyester, nylon, or spandex blends that pull sweat away from your skin.
- Temperature Regulation: Use a layering system—base layers, breathable mid layers, and weather-resistant outer layers—to adapt as your body warms up.
- Comfort and Fit: Prioritize running-specific gear with flat seams and a close, athletic fit to reduce friction and irritation during long miles.
Dress for the Season
For summer, choose minimal, breathable clothing like tank tops and shorts to stay cool. In transitional seasons like spring and fall, lightweight long sleeves and jackets offer versatility. When winter arrives, a full layering system including thermal base layers and cold-weather accessories is essential for protection.
